Main Idea: Add a Chop Shop NPC to sell stolen cars to for an okay payout.
Full description of the idea:
Adding a Chop Shop NPC somewhere on the map, possibly within the scrapyard (not like anyone uses it anyway) where you can get a decent amount of money for risking stealing somebody’s car (a very small percentage of the initial price of the vehicle). At the moment there’s no real point in stealing peoples cars unless you advertise that you’re selling a car matching its description where they can buy it back, although most of the time they just ignore the message because they’re like “I’ll get it back later, no worries I just hope they don’t wreck it”.
Obviously the payout would have to be small such as 0.75% of the initial price which I think sits quite well, not too much money and more expensive cars would realistically give you a higher pay out, more expensive cars are also rare so you won’t see people getting lots of money from stealing Bugatti’s all the time.
You would obviously be able to get your car back afterwards, possibly having to pay a small insurance cost when receiving your vehicle from the garage again.
Add a cool down between chopping cars so people don’t just constantly steal cars over and over.
Why should it be added?: At the moment stealing cars is kinda useless and if you try and sell them back to the owner you very rarely get a response, the car security upgrade is also very rarely used and kinda pointless at the moment.
I know lots of people have been wanting legal methods of making money but like @Taylor said it’s much better than just sitting still watching YouTube in your steam overlay for 40 minutes checking on your drugs now and then.
Pros:
-Another way to make money
-Makes the ability to steal cars more useful
-More calls for police to respond to
-Gives the vehicle security upgrade that you can buy more of a use since 99% of the time it’s unused at the moment
-Better illegal way to make money instead of just sitting still checking up on your drugs now and then (@Taylor)
Cons:
-Could be a hassle to code it all in
-As someone said this might mean there’s loads of people just looking for cars to steal, possibly make a lower payout because of this
-Could be money farmed with friends as @Creepis pointed out but @Taylor also suggested not being about to chop the same persons car for an hour or so
Other additions: If the NPC does end up being in scrapyard obviously people could just drive straight there and could a payout easily, this means that there should be some sort of cool down for you to lay low before you go chop the car, this’ll make sure people don’t just constantly chop cars and increases the chances of police catching them.
